A52-DB9F: Entry-Level RS-232 to RS-422/485 Converter, DB9F cable without power supply

Transio A52 devices are intelligent bidirectional RS-232 to RS-422/485 converters. 
Data flow control for both RS-422 and RS-485, LED indicators for power and signal status, surge protection.

**Serial connection problems in industrial environments**

Serial communication and reliability can be negatively affected in industrial environments. The cabling associated with serial communication devices might be surrounded by power lines, motors, or equipment that produces static electricity. In these cases, serial devices can be damaged by sudden surges produced by these types of equipment. 
In these situations, the solution is to use surge protection that utilizes TVSS (Transient Voltage Surge Suppression).

When two serial devices are directly connected but separated by a long distance, unbalanced ground voltage can cause serious damage. Unbalanced ground voltage between two serial ports forms a "ground loop" and introduces a large current between the two serial devices.
In this situation, the solution is to use isolation protection to provide complete isolation for both communication ports.

**What is surge protection?**
Surges are high-amplitude pulses that last only a few millionths of a second. They can be caused by equipment with high current draw, power lines, short circuits, or large motors. A suppressor has the ability to instantly absorb high energy, thereby preventing damage to connected devices.
